Community Care: MRSA

Volume 470: debated on Tuesday 22 January 2008

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what research he has commissioned or funded on home-based care for patients with (a) MRSA and (b) clostridium difficile. (177633)

The Department of Health has not commissioned or supported any research on home based care for patient with methicillin resistant “Staphylococcus aureus” (MRSA) or “Clostridium difficile” to date.

However, we know that some national health service organisations are investigating the options for more home based care in relation to patients with MRSA.
